This book had really great potential, but lacked suspense and momentum. It resembled Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose," taking place at Oxford during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. Former monk Giordan Bruno, who has been charged with heresy by the Catholic Church for his heliocentric views, is an intellectual guest at Oxford. He is also a reluctant agent of Walsingham and is encouraged to report on any Catholic sympathizers who may be a threat to the queen and her realm. When murders occur in the college, Bruno takes it upon himself to try to piece together evidence to find the culprit, and this is where the story started to lose my interest. The initial goal of Bruno to find a missing manuscript that contains deific wisdom was intriguing but was never developed. While I liked Bruno and appreciated his intelligence and perception, there were other characters that were frustrating and stubborn. The history was good, especially its examination of religious instability at the time and the use of actual historical figures like Bruno, Walsingham and Sir Philip Sydney. However, the plot itself seemed to drag as the book went on. I wish it had left me anticipating future developments and made use of the mysticism that Bruno is known for. The premise was strong, and perhaps in another writer's hands this could have been a more solid and entertaining novel.
